Hi, I'm Peter aka Shirt58. My username comes from the field hockeyshirt I was allocated some while ago. Yes, men do play field hockey. And Tasmania is not a fictional place.
This is not the Australia men's national field hockey team at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Q: Shirt58, are you as easy-going, helpful, ridiculously erudite, and concise in real life as you appear to be from your contributions?
A: Yes, that is correct.

Did You No, seriously, I'm not making this stuff up
that Ego Leonard is a giant minifigure who is no real than you are?
that Hevisaurus is a Finnish heavy metal band for kids?
that an Alibi-ya can provide a fake boss to give a speech at your wedding?
that Undie Runs are very popular with College administrators?
I've recently tried to bump up my contributions to at least 50% article-space edits. As of 27 February 2014[update] my "edit count pie" looked like this. As of 1 November 2014[update] my "edit count pie" looked like... erm, a SVG image with XML markup I couldn't even begin to understand, but it's 53.3%.

Frequently questioned answers
Somewhat of a star in invertebrate zoology, but just didn't have the maths for most of the other stuff.
Ok, I studied Italian in Secondary School for four years, did a semester of Middle English and majored in Japanese. I also took a semester at a private language school in Chinese that would have totaled 20 hours tuition, tops. That's the whole box and dice in my formal language study.
My Block log will answer a lot of those kind of questions.
Now you're raking up ancient history from my early University days. I was considered to be too much interested in Eng. Lit. to be a proper Languages nerd. And to be too much of a Languages nerd to be considered a proper Eng. Lit. nerd. Ah, my College days, the best eleven years of my life...
On second thoughts, let's not go to Law School. It is a silly place.
"When, on their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, Jerome had played his parents an ethereal, far more beautiful version of 'Hallelujah' by a kid called Buckley, Kiki had thought yes, that's right, our memories are getting more beautiful and less real every day." Zadie Smith, On Beauty, 2005
Public service job. Task: explain completely in fewest words.
OK, I admit it: I am a Flying Spaghetti Marxist, completely committed to the Saucialist cause. Pasta la Revolución siempre!
In the first (and only) year of Bachelor of Science studies, I gave myself extra time to study for Zoology 101 by not bothering to turn up for the other subjects' exams.

"— from a good family?" prompted Amit.
"From a good family."
"Well educated?"
"Well educated. Saraswati gives better blessings in the long run than Lakshmi."
- Vikram Seth, A Suitable Boy, page 493
The idea that there were shops devoted entirely to books would have astonished the Pee Wee cow crowd, except for Erwin Hungate, who was a reader, his big tallow-colored face buried in a book even at the bar.
...
Vic Vase took up the book often and read passages aloud, mangling his way through medieval French, church Latin, and antique English.
"Jesus," said Erwin Hungate, the reader, "lay off, will you? Sound like Umberto Eco."
"Who?" said Vic.
"I know him," said Old Man DeBock. "Bert Eckle, used a work for Bob Utley. He’s out in Nevada now in a home. Home for old cowboys."

You've worked tirelessly at improving Wikipedia for nearly five years, with little recognition. I don't normally give these things out—I can never find the right words—but I thought I'd make an exception. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 10:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

We Germans are immune to humour, as everybody who knows them will tell you. I obviously did not get it without hint, had not heard about franglais in the first place, and managed to confuse myself in the meantime. Much appreciated. Lectonar (talk) 12:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
